The time intervals from the start of labor induction to regular uterine contractions and to vaginal delivery were calculated as the primary outcomes. We divided subjects into two groups using a threshold of 24 hours. Ultrasound measurements were compared between the two groups and the area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction model was calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Women who delivered vaginally within 24 hours had a shorter CL and softer cervix than those who delivered after 24 hours. The combination of CL and elastographic parameters increased the AUC to 0.672 compared with CL alone (AUC\u2009=\u20090.637).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Measurement by E-cervix is relatively reproducible. Addition of cervical strain elastography slightly improves the predictive performance of CL in vaginal delivery within 24 hours.
